or was it All GOD??
The other evening, I heard the phone ring and run to pick it up. Time was about 6 pm.
Could not make out what the caller was asking, it sounded like they were talking in a toilet bowl (not that I have any experience with such things) but I think you get the point.
I politely tell them, that "I can't hear them..." apologizing I hung up the phone.
I ask around my family, just after hanging up and see if any of them picked up the line, resulting in perhaps the bad connection, but that all came up negative.
RING......RING....
At that, the phone rang again and I picked up.
"Hello?"
This caller, was coming through loud and clear now, somewhat agitated saying, "why did you hang up on me the last time?"
"Sorry", was my reply, "who is calling?"
"Is this NOT the pharmacy?....I've been waiting and waiting" she complained.
"Pharmacy, this is a home!" was my surprised answer.
Stunned, she continued; "HOME!, I thought this was my pharmacy? You see I've been waiting and waiting for many hours for the delivery man to arrive. I think these pharmacies create jobs (like the delivery guy was what she was implying), to add more cost and frustration to their customers!" Not missing a beat she continued. "I could have walked there and back and got what was needed....this pharmacy.....". Her voice trailed as she spoke.
I interjected (remember this was a wrong number) "maybe you don't need the pharmacy, the LORD heals you!"
Laughing, she reacted; "what?...its not for me!" Meaning whatever from the pharmacy that was to be delivered was seemingly not for her.
"Well, may the LORD heal the other guy too!" was my next point.
Now laughing more, I mean a fairly good and honest laugh she said "You're funny!"
A bit of a pause, as I was wondering and thinking to myself...I'm not trying to be 'funny', but serious and this is a wrong number isn't it?
She, feeling the need to correct herself said; "Ah...I don't mean you are funny in a wrong way...its just that I was SO angry when I first called, and then when you hung up, I was thinking that it was the pharmacy...and that got me MORE Angry!"
Trying to let her feel that I understood, I said "business can sometimes forget about service, its too bad".
This lady then says "I know...but I was so mad and when I called you , well, you made me laugh and laugh and that helped me, I didn't mean it to be rude but you are a VERY interesting person, thank-you!"
Her appreciation sounded genuine.
And that was it.
I think the LORD by SPIRIT can do anything at anytime and all we have to do is love, let love do what it wants and GOD supplies the rest!
